I've seen an image or two where it seems the background color was achieved by lighting the seemless with gelled strobes. The main color was a light purplish and there was a horizontal band of magenta. I am guessing this was done using a grey background, perhaps something close to the 18 percent value. Since the manufacturers offer several grey colors, I am not sure which would be the best shade to order. Thoughts, anyone? Or does another color work better?
